Hood release cable got stuck and got ripped out of the cabin

Hood release cable got stuck and got ripped out of the cabin

Any advice on how to replace this or where in Tampa, FL can replace? The hood stays latched down but won’t lock because of the cable situation.

2001 Honda Prelude

Hi guys, I’ve always been looking a Prelude at this 5th gen on fb marketplace for a couple days now and still hesitated to see if it’s worth it. It has 225,000km on it, the description said it has Invidia N1 cat-back exhaust, NRG quick release steering wheel, cold air intake. Do you guys think I should get it or looks for a better one? Also what should I check for? Thanks guys!

Impossible Part Find

Hello, I’ve been having an issue for a while now I’m needing an entire ignition cylinder for my ‘90 Prelude and cannot find it absolutely anywhere. Are they the same as the accords? Or is it unique? I’ve have looked everywhere and cannot find one that has worked. Is there anywhere I could find one?

ABS light randomly popping up

Hi everyone,

I’m having a weird issue with the ABS system in my 5th gen Prelude. The ABS light comes and goes completely at random. I can drive for a few days with no issues, and then it suddenly pops up while driving on a straight, smooth road. After a few more days, it might disappear again.

I pulled the codes and got:

• 53 - ABS Pump Motor stuck ON

• 81 - Central Processing Unit (CPU) failure

Has anyone dealt with this specific combo?

Is there any "easy fix" or a specific connector I should check, or is the unit's electronics simply toasted?

Thanks for any help!

Hood struts for 3rd gen?

Has anyone successfully purchased and or custom made hood struts for the 3rd gen prelude, bought some on eBay that claimed it was for 3rd gen and when I got it was at least 8inches short… then they asked me for measurements and to get the diameter of certain areas and remove trim etc etc I got my refund after but now have no hood struts 😭
